Capacity is 36 ounces. I highly recommend you use Synthetic oil in this air cooled engine. Change it once each year.
On a valve-in-block 8HP with an RJ19LM or equivalent plug, it is 0.030"
Briggs straitton
As a snowblower is used in the winter use 10w30 weight synthetic oil and change the oil once each year.
Our Techumseh 8HP has a Champion J8C
A Briggs and Stratton 17.5 horsepower engine can use any type of small engine motor oil. A heavy duty motor oil is recommended.
It is around a 5 hp. *this is incorrect: the ones they sell currently would be more in the 7.5-8hp range, seeing as an equally featured 190cc briggs and stratton engine is 6.75hp on a lawn mower the additional 15cc bump it up to around 8hp.
SAE 10W30 synthetic oil.
yes, i use them on my 17-1/2 hp briggs,
Briggs 19.5 oil filter
Basically all Briggs engines call for a high quality 30Wt
Depends on the engine. Generally between a pint and a quart. A Briggs and Straton 8hp takes about 24oz. Kohler or TecumsehPower should be close to that as well. If you are changing the oil and the engine has a dipstick, I would put in a pint (16oz) and then check the stick. If it is still low, I would add about 2oz at a time and check again until it does read full. If it is older and does not have a dipstick, just fill it until the oil comes right to the mouth of the fill opening.
